Welcoming Japanese izakaya on the second floor of a Gubei mall, with an interesting seafood-focused menu and reasonable prices (menus are in Japanese and Chinese only; no English here). Your main table-fellows are Japanese businessmen with bottles of Suntory, soda water and ice buckets, a reassuring sight at any izakaya. The walls are covered in the scribblings of previous generations of customers, covered in defaced Japanese beer girl posters (nothing too raunchy), covered in actual fish fins that have been stuck on with glue. The atmosphere is warm, the place is worn, and the food is reliable. Bring a friend who can read the board with the specials if you're looking for something more adventurous, like braised tuna eye for 98rmb.
